The U.S. Cyber Command has uploaded new malware samples to VirusTotal, all of which the Command has attributed to the North Korea-linked threat group Lazarus.
The samples were added to the scanning engine as part of a project that USCYBERCOM's Cyber National Mission Force that kicked off in November 2018.
In September 2019, 11 malware samples that were shared to the popular malware scanning engine were attributed to Lazarus, a cluster of activity that the U.S. refers to as "Hidden Cobra".
USCYBERCOM has now added 6 new samples linked to the same government-backed hacking group.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has published Malware Analysis Reports for each of these samples.
